So if Dolphins are so smart, how come they have invented diddly squat?

I do know they sleep half their brain at a time so they are always awake. Or does this mean they are just half asleep most of the time. Is that why do you think, like they are just lazy?

    Correction Sir, Didley Squat was invented by Olympic Power Lifter Gilbert Didley...( cousin of Bo ) after pulling a quad muscle in the "88 " games...a little known fact...Dolphins wrote the old TV series Flipper...they also invented Reality TV....geez...you're right they ARE stupid !

    Have you invented anything?? Dolphins, unlike us, do not feel compelled to invent machines to do their work for them. I'd say they're a lot less lazy than we are. They don't make machines that pollute the air and the water. They don't make trash that is poisonous and non-biodegradable. Who's stupid now? They sleep only half the brain at one time, because the ocean is a dangerous, predator filled place, and because they still have to breathe. By sleeping only half the brain, they remain alert to danger and can surface to breathe while sleeping.

    No thumbs that's why. Inventing things without thumbs would be very hard.

    Are you smart? Have you invented anything?

    just because they are smart doesn't mean they are on the same level as humans. they are smart compared to other animals.

    They're probably satisfied with the way they are and the way they live unlike humans.

    You would be surprised about dolphin involvement with navy S.E.A.L.S. They do things you could never do.

    Yeah! They live in the sea & can't even breath underwater! That's pretty stupid.
